inconsequential ruminations

A minimalist blog, with a pretentious title, about strategy games.

Idly browsing the BoardGameGeek forums, I found a strange, disturbing promo video that really stuck in my mind. It is the first time I have seen promotional material for a game that chilled my blood. What is even odder is that it is for an abstract game.

The game advertised, stlts (which is begging to be nicknamed Stilts) is not the sort of thing I would normally enjoy, but I will give it a go on the website the next time I want to stretch my mind with an abstract.

There is another video on the website, which is as weird and unsettling as the other, but is quietly beautiful rather than outright frightening.

Art house cinema and gaming are an odd couple if there ever was one.
